If you had one free wish for the New Year - what would it be?

December 31, 2009 4:58am CST
2009 hasn't exactly been the best year I can remember. The economy was very tough and I know I should be grateful that both I and my husband are still employed - but it was still an extremely hard year. We had a number of health issues in the family, including me having operations and I had a lot of heartache. So if I'd have a free wish for 2010 I probably would need to wish for 100 extra wishes to make sure I have enough to make everything right. However, if you'd only have 1 free wish given to you by a fairy godmother - what would you wish for?

I would wish to find a job or to make money so I can help pay the bills. I feel it is unfair to have my husband work part-time and pay the bills. We are struggling so much right now and everyday I wake up thinking that we may end up losing the house because we can not afford it. If I can make an extra 300.00 a month I know we can make things work.

Then I hope for you that it will come true. The economy hopefully will become better very soon now and there will be jobs coming up again if you are prepared to do whatever is avaiable. Please take my best wishes for the new year.

I wish you all the best with this. You make a good point - with peace of mind or the right attitude nothing will feel quite as bad so this wish is a wise choice.

If I had one free wish, I would wish that all of my wishes will come true, that includes being health problem free, being able to enjoy my life everyday, being surrounded by positive people, being able to drive safely, and earning good income.

Many good wishes. It's a shame life doesn't work like that, isn't it?

Getting to throw 2010 without losing anyone near me.

Certainly an understandable wish. It sounds like you had a hard 2009 as well. All the bet to you.
